Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop

 

Well it's my day on the Polar Bear Plunge blog hop run by Joan of Moose Stash quilting. Well I just wish it was a bit cold here over the last few weeks I have been melting and we haven't hit the hot part of summer yet. 

AnywayI decided to make the Snowflake Cushion from The Pillow Pop book. I have had some old linen that I got from a friends mum years ago ,this piece was sewn to make a skirt, and went through the stash and found what I wanted.

                    

                            
                           

              


The little petals were drawn onto interfacing then sewn to the petal fabric and turned through, it's a great method. Then the whole lot were sewn down with a tiny blanket stitch the front and back sewn together after the zip is inserted. Everything from my stash so I'm happy. Thanks for popping in.

Lovely pillow, and how great that you could sew from your stash.

Elizabeth Coughlin said...

Your pillow is so pretty! It would work equally as well for a winter or a beach theme!

That is awesome. Elizabeth was right when she said it was perfect for winter and beach themes. Thanks for playing along in the Polar Bear Plunge with us. It's hard to think of winter, when your in the midst of summer where you are, I'm sure. But you nailed it! :-)

I love this snowflake pillow and the beautiful blues you chose! Doing the interfacing thing and turning those inside out is definitely the best way to make them. It looks very cozy with the other pillows. Thanks for sharing, Lianne!

With your coloration I think beach first-or maybe I’m just ready for the beach weather!
